Fidesz accuses Kyiv of targeting Hungary through Druzhba pipeline strike
Change language:
The aim of the Ukrainian attack against the Druzhba oil pipeline was to also use military methods to pressurise Hungary in addition to the political, secret service and media attacks, the head of the Fidesz-Christian Democrats group in the European Parliament said on Monday.
Tamás Deutsch told public radio that Ukraine was trying to make Hungary change its pro-peace position and its opposition to Ukraine’s accelerated European Union accession.
He said the European Commission which had previously stated that attacks endangering the EU’s energy security were unacceptable was now silent in connection with the military actions against the crude oil pipeline.
Hungary was again forced to resolutely stand up for its interests and together with Slovakia call on the EC to use pressure and diplomatic means in order to put an end to the Ukrainian military actions against the Druzhba pipeline which guarantees the energy security of Hungary and Slovakia, he said.
Hungary stop funding the Russian invasion of Ukraine through billions of euros of Russian oil purchases. Hungarian purchases of Russian oil kill Ukrainians.
